Still seeking a Sticky.

Would I be wrong to say "stick it yourself!"? :lmao:

Thread stuck

Three cheers for Larry!!!

I think we did the club a disservice by not making him a BOD member. (whether he wanted to be or not )

I think it's a good idea. Any chance you can edit the original post to contain some of the LFS's posted further done, that way there is a complete list?

Chances are, that I won't be at many meetings in the foreseeable future. I think the club is in better hands than mine, anyway, even if I did want to go to every single meeting.

I used to know a guy named Brian Buckout(sp?) that had a place name Indo Marine. I think that was in Farmingdale but he was wholesale only too I think. That place was incredible.

I've heard about a place on Marine St, and I've driven down that street many times, but I never saw the place (maybe never noticed?). All I've heard about them is that they won't do business with hobbyists anyway.

yup, thats why its not marked.

mutts and butts in merrick re-did their frag tanks and now have alot of lps/sps. might be worth a look if ur in the area.

There is a fairly new pet store at 915 Carmans Rd in Massapequa called Animal House Pets and Aquarium. It's in the Pathmark Shopping Center, Carman Plaza. The phone number is 516-798-3940.
I have found the owner of the store, Sheng, to be really helpful. He doesn't have a lot of stock, but what he has looks healthy to me and he'll special order, too. They will also give a 10% discount to LIRA members on most things.

FYI, Reefs and Rivers is out of business

Selmers -Huntington

Selmers -Huntington

Nice list. Some stores I'de heard of, but did not know where to find.

Is it possible to set something up so we could have a thread under each store name to comment and share our experiences?

You should check out, and add to, this website: Rate Your Local Fish Store

Last time I checked the site was down... Hopefully it's back online now.

Anyone know of a store in west hemstead 17N off the southern state. I was there once and they had a nice coral selection. I want to stop in but forgot the name and exactly where it was.

Sounds like a good idea, but LIReef would probably want sponsorship money for advertisement like that.

Heh, you knew Brian?
I just talked to him yesterday. He's a great friend of mine. He hasn't touched anything related to fish tanks in years and he was complaining about it to me yesterday. I'll get him back into it.

You have to have a business license to purchase animals from the place in farmingdale and it has to be for the aquarium industry. Otherwise Steve will deny you access.

Yeah I used to go to his and Connies house in Valley Stream when he was doing it in his basement. Incredible stuff. Very long ago. Tell him Tom said hello.
